As usual they take a grain of truth and twist it to get sales. A so-called “digital aerial” was just a wideband UHF aerial, able to receive all frequencies used in terrestrial broadcasts in the UK.
In some places, while analogue and digital were broadcasting at the same time, it was necessary to broadcast digital outside of the transmitter’s usual frequency group. In such cases a house with a rooftop aerial optimised to receive only frequencies from within that group would be inadequate to receive digital transmissions properly. In those cases, a wideband aerial was required.
